Suits Season 9 Episode 8 Review: Prisoner's Dilemma

Suits Season 9 Episode 8 found Harvey battling several people to keep himself out of jail but little did he know that there was no good ending for him.

Lily's death was painful to hear about, primarily because of the progress Harvey had made with his mother of late.

He's going to spiral out of control. There's no getting away from that, and it's going to be heartbreaking to watch this man who is usually so well put together fall apart.

There's going to be an element of guilt in there because he kept his mother at arm's length for such a big part of his life. He struggled to come to terms with her cheating on his father.

But somehow, they managed to find their way back to one another -- even if it's going to feel like it was too late. The decision to kill Lily is a bold one, but it presents an intriguing hook for the final two episodes of the series.

Given that they were both arrested and hauled in for questioning, it was intriguing to watch the smug look wash away from Harvey's face.

He's usually very good at bluffing, but at that moment, he knew there was a chance he would be heading behind bars.

Donna didn't know what to do because she was unsure what was actually going on. She's usually the person who knows everything and gets everyone out of sticky situations.

In this instance, she was powerless aside from yelling at both Malik and Faye. Speaking of Faye, it was ridiculous that she would pull that stunt on Harvey, but not surprising at the same time.

A part of her hates Harvey and how everyone will defend him. Comparing him to a cancer, however, was a bit rich when you consider the fact that he could have had Faye disbarred earlier in Suits Season 9.

Faye loves to act like she plays by the rules, but when the going gets tough, she has no reservations with doing something to save herself.

Esther returning was a surprise because I don't recall any announcement that Amy Acker was staging a comeback.

Her storyline was harrowing because she felt like there was little she could do to take down the man who sexually assaulted her.
